About Kalimera Greece

Kalimera started as a hobby project in spring 1997, and has since
developed into a portal about Greece of very high quality.

Today Kalimera Scandinavia's largest website about Greece and
the Greek islands, and a big meeting place for many Greece travellers.
Kalimera is actually one of the world's largest sites in terms of containing
and images.

The readers come from all over Scandinavia, mainly from Sweden
but also from Norway, Finland and Denmark. Number
of visitors varies depending on the season. Most visitors are between
February and October, with the absolute peak between May and September.

In June 2017 Kalimera had 111,504 unique visitors.

In May 2017, we celebrated Kalimera's 20th birthday!

I as working with Kalimera am named Janne Eklund and I live in
Karlskrona in southern Sweden. Previously, I lived in Stockholm, but I
got tired of the stress of the big city, and moved to the tranquillity
of a small island.

I travelled to Greece for the first time in 1979 and has ever
since been Greece faithful. My wife Camilla helps me with Kalimera. She
has many features, including research, photographer and car driver.

Through the years there have been about 60 trips to Greece, during
that time I and Camilla managed to visit 65 islands, of course, we have
also been very much in Athens. We have also been part of the Greek mainland,
including Parga, Zagoria, Metsovo and Meteora. In recent trips went to
Santorini, Folegandros, Antiparos, Paros, Amorgos, Donoussa, Koufonissi,
Schinoussa, Iraklia, Naxos, Crete and Pylos, Koroni and Kardamyli in the
Peloponnese.

In 2007, we fulfilled an old dream to stay long in Greece. We
left Sweden in May and came back in November. Six wonderful months in
Greece! During the trip, we visited 31 islands, and Athens.

Besides writing about Greece on the Kalimera website, I've done
many
reports about Greece in Sweden's biggest travel magazine and I am a
former co-author of the guide-book "Ö-luffa i Grekland".
I also write
about Greece in Aftonbladet, the biggest newspaper in Scandinavia.

Of course we are also on Facebook and Instagram. We have two pages
on Facebook, one page where I write on Greece and publish pictures, and
one page where I, along with members, discussing Greece and publish lots
of pictures. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram so you don't
miss nothing.
